Superman '78 #4

In "Brainiac Chapter Four," Superman grapples with his place among the Kryptonian survivors in Kandor, feeling increasingly out of step. When Lois reaches out via a signal tied to Lex Luthor, Superman must confront the dangerous consequences of her call—especially as Brainiac begins his return, culminating in the shocking extraction of Metropolis. Written by Robert Venditti and illustrated by Wilfredo Torres, with Jordie Bellaire’s colors and Dave Lanphear’s lettering, this issue builds tension with emotional weight and high stakes. The cover by Brad Walker captures the moment’s urgency with striking clarity.
